CVS took a $2.2 billion charge in Q4 2018 (on top of a $3.9 billion earlier charge) for losses incurred from their underperforming long-term care services business acquired from Omnicare in 2015, and have lowered earnings guidance for 2019.

Bankruptcy of a large customer? Was CVS somehow supplying Shopko Pharmacies?

The article seems to imply it was an institutional customer, probably an operator of long-term care facilities.
